Chuck, Aren't all the B-6 Rail King. Not same motor. His motor is the BE-1100002. Used on 0-4-0 and 0-6-0 PR USRA. Picture is a PR 4-4-0 that uses a similar set up but Motor BE-1100000. Notice FW at front. Some of these motors had Allen screw to hold FW to shaft, others pressed on. I have a few bad motors with good FW. If I was repairing this I would pull worm and fly wheel from a standard 365 motor of choices. Trim shafts to length, swap over motor bracket and flywheel from original bad motor. A little more expensive because of labor, but only solution right now. If some one needs this done, contact me. I have 365 motors and can do this conversion if you send me your bad motor.
For what ever reason it seems hard to get individual motors that are out of stock made up unless another production run of the same motor type is made. This is not the only motor out of stock. I don't understand why the can't get extras made up while current production is in place. 365 and 385 motors are being made for current production, just asking to have a different worm installed could solve some of the shortages. And in the case of the BE-1100000 and 2 motor you just need a plain 365 motor with no worm or flywheel. Tech can transfer stuff over. You need to pull fw anyway because motors do not come with brackets, and you need to transfer original one. G
